[QUOTE="Dandu, post: 5263343, member: 85158"] When fighting in a tunnel, sure he does. Unless the attacker uses Bull Rushing, at any rate. Monsters that would be in no way able to use their brains to determine who the most dangerous party members were, which ones were the weak casters, or make any sort of tactical assessment other than a blind charge at the first person they see. Seriously, I'm sure anything with an Int of about 8 or greater will notice that people who can rewrite reality on a whim are pretty high up there on the danger meter. Which would not be the squishy wizard? d4 hit dice, no muscles, sissy clothing at the back vs someone who obviously has mucles, ie, a [B]strength score of 14[/B]. Who is going to get ambushed again? Unless they are mentally incapable of noticing that someone's wearing either a mage's robes. or a bondage outfit if you're Hennet, and concluding that that person may be a caster of some sort. Yes, a whopping 2d6+2 damage with an attack bonus of +11 for the AoO. Truely an intimidating penalty for a melee opponent that will likely have HP in the triple digits. Ah, but that's doubleplus wrongbad metagame knowledge there! Arent monsters supposed to avoid that? Not when that's [B]all you do[/B], it isn't. That's not broken, that's [B]lackluster[/B] at best. I think the problem is that the monk's defensive capabilities suck. [/QUOTE]
